AUSTRALIA V INDIA, day two of the second Test:
SCORE: India 180 and 5-128 versus Australia 337.
SUMMARY: Travis Head smacks the fastest century in day-night Tests, from 111 deliveries, and makes 140 from 141 balls. Australia’s bowlers turn the screws with Pat Cummins and Scott Boland taking two wickets each with India still 29 runs in arrears at stumps.
THE MOMENT: Head’s stunning knock finishes in a flashpoint when bowled by Mohammed Siraj, who gives the home-town hero a send-off and the Adelaidean responds with some choice words of his own.
THE PLAYER: Head’s eighth career ton is his third from his past four Test innings at Adelaide Oval. And it’s the second century in his past six knocks against India, a streak also featuring an 89 and a 90.
THE STAT: 14 for 379. The number of wickets, 14, and runs, 379, on an action-packed day of Test cricket.
THE QUOTE: “Nice to cash in … and put the guys in a really good position.” Travis Head.
